July - 2021CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM6As with any industry, the construction sector is constantly evolving and adjusting its practices to ensure the highest levels of safety for its employees. The COVID-19 pandemic has reemphasized the need for the protection of employees on the jobs. This has led to an increased interest in new technologies that aid in completing tasks that humans once did. New-age robots and drones are now being deployed on construction sites to complete tasks and keep employees out of danger. In addition, this also ensures that there are fewer people on-site, allowing companies to abide by the COVID protocols.The introduction of smart personal protective equipment (PPE) has been a complete game-changer in the construction industry. Smart PPE includes sensors that monitor, collect, and record biometric, location, and movement data in real-time. Working in a fashion similar to wearable devices, these new-age PPE monitor heart rate, calories burnt, steps walked, and other vitals, allowing employers to keep a close eye on their employees. Some of these devices are even capable of monitoring changes in the environment and fatigue levels of workers, allowing employers to manage their workforce efficiently. Despite the privacy concerns with data collection, these devices can be the factor that helps save a life.With an increased focus on employee safety, several new players are emerging in the market with innovative technologies capable of transforming safety and compliance in the construction sector.
